Adam pondered Rita's words. Indeed, the Honkai Beast, with its immense power and intelligence, wreaked havoc in the city, yet it always mysteriously vanished. Could it truly be hiding? Adam felt his doubts grow.
It had to be said that Rita's idea was indeed very possible. But what concerned Adam was why Rita knew so much. Sure enough, as he had guessed, she was...
Adam subconsciously looked at Rita's eyes, and a sense of shock instantly surged in his heart. Those eyes seemed like the deep and dark night, hiding countless secrets and wisdom.
Is she really an ordinary opera singer, or is she hiding some unknown identity?
"Rita, who are you?" Adam couldn't help but ask, hoping to uncover the mystery of Rita.
Facing Adam's question, Rita still sat there elegantly, looking at Adam quietly.
Just as Rita was about to say something, a loud noise suddenly rang out, accompanied by flying dust and shaking ground. Adam and Rita subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a huge figure rushing out of the abandoned building.
It was a Houkai beast, massive in size and covered in a hard shell, like a living war fortress. Its red eyes flashed with ferocity, and its sharp claws sliced through the air, emitting a piercing scream.
"Emperor-level Quantum Collapse Beast?!" Adam's pupils shrank when he saw the guy suddenly appear. And with the appearance of this Collapse Beast, a large number of Collapse Beasts also came to the street at the same time.
"We have to go!" Adam shouted. He grabbed Rita's hand and they turned and fled. The huge body of the Honkai Beast was in hot pursuit, and every step made the earth tremble.
They walked through the streets of the abandoned city. The buildings on the corners looked like they had been torn apart by a giant beast, bricks and stones flying everywhere, and dust filled the air. Their heartbeats and gasps echoed in this desolate city, as if they were brushing against death.
The rain continued to pour down, its drops sharp as blades, striking their bodies. Adam and Rita's clothes were soaked and stuck to their bodies, but they showed no sign of stopping. They ran as fast as they could, fleeing from the Honkai Beast's pursuit.
Finally, they arrived at a spacious square. Adam quickly pulled Rita into a shelter. They leaned against the wall, panting, their hearts still beating rapidly.
The Honkai Beast stopped in the square, its red eyes gazing around as if searching for something. Adam and Rita held their breath, fearing they would be discovered by the monster.
Suddenly, the Honkai Beast roared, turned its body sharply, and rushed to the other side of the square. Adam and Rita were stunned, not knowing what was happening.
"Why did it leave suddenly?" Rita asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.
Adam narrowed his eyes, staring at the direction the Honkai Beast had left, and recalled Rita's words. Perhaps she was right, the Honkai Beast might really have gone into hiding. But why did it suddenly appear and then suddenly leave?
Adam feels the mystery deepen. He decides, no matter what, to uncover the mystery of Rita's identity and the truth behind the city being overrun by Honkai beasts. Their adventure has just begun, and more unknowns and dangers await them.
Chapter 604: Rita's True Identity
As you said, the Honkai Beast will really leave." Adam looked at the direction where the Honkai Beast left and couldn't help but start to think deeply.
Rather, where did all these Honkai Beasts in this city come from? They had searched the city before and found no traces of these Honkai Beasts. It was as if these creatures had just appeared out of thin air.
"Mr. Adam, look, there seems to be something on the ground over there." Hearing Rita's words, Adam couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
A black liquid stood out against the rain. Adam and Rita walked over and took a closer look. The black liquid emitted a strange smell, suggesting it was the remains of a Honkai Beast.
This liquid is…” Adam was shocked when he saw the liquid. If he was not mistaken, this liquid was the same as the strange liquid he had seen in the manor before.
In other words, this is a high-concentration quantum energy liquid.
"Could it be that these guys all appeared from the Quantum Sea?" Adam asked in surprise, and his previous encounter with Rita in the Quantum Sea emerged in his mind.
Adam immediately became alert. Normally, monsters from the Quantum Ocean wouldn't appear in the real world so easily, unless someone deliberately opened the door and let them in.
"It's really something that is hard to understand." After thinking of this possibility, Adam immediately connected several events around him.
If that's really the case, then the case in the neighboring city is also related to this Honkai Beast.
"So, Miss Rita, what do you know? And who are you?"
Adam looked at Rita again. This time, he wanted to know something about Rita no matter what.
"Captain, didn't you already guess it a long time ago? Why do you keep asking me?"
Rita answered Adam at this time, and her way of addressing Adam also changed to Captain.
"Sure enough, you are the one who transmits the signal to the outside world."
Adam said to Rita.
"Who knows? But, for now, at least I'm on your side, Captain. Please rest assured."
(Is this something suspiciously reassuring?)
Adam looked at Rita. Although one of her identities had been exposed, she still looked very relaxed. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
"Did you deliberately bring us to this city? What is your purpose?"
"To be precise, it's not the city I asked the Captain and the others to come to. In fact, I've been searching for the secrets of this city as well."
"Could it be the ether core?"
Adam asked Rita again, pressing her step by step.
"Who knows, maybe it's really like that." Rita smiled mysteriously, and the secret seemed to be hidden by her again.
Adam looked at Rita deeply. Sure enough, this woman was still hiding something from him.
"However, since you said you are currently on our side, tell me what you know first."
Adam then spoke to Rita again.
"Well, according to my investigation, that ghost seems to have been eliminating those involved in that experiment."
Adam stared at Rita quietly, a wave of shock rising in his heart. If that were true, the monsters created in that experiment were now opening a passage to the Quantum Ocean. No wonder the city was overrun with Honkai beasts, no wonder it was doomed to destruction.
Just as Adam was thinking about all this, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the city suddenly fell into silence. All the sounds around them disappeared without a trace, leaving only the breathing of the two of them echoing in the air.
A strong sense of crisis washed over Adam and Rita, and they both turned to look behind them. At the end of the road not far away, a massive Honkai Beast appeared.
Adam's eyes narrowed as he recognized the Honkai Beast. "It's a ghost!" his voice tinged with surprise.
Both men drew their weapons and watched the ghost intently, wary of an attack. Adam gripped his sword tightly, his eyes fixed on the ghost, ready to strike at any moment. Rita, with her scythe raised, leaned forward slightly, watching the ghost's every move intently.
Neither of them expected the ghost to appear here again. But to Adam and Rita's surprise, the ghost that appeared in front of them did not attack them, but instead started to flee backwards.
"What happened?" Adam asked confusedly, a hint of confusion in his voice.
Adam and Rita were once again shocked to see the ghost escape. They exchanged glances, each seeming to see a hint of doubt and confusion in the other's eyes.
"Chase him!" Rita said at this time, and then she started to chase after him.
Adam followed, and the two of them raced across the square, chasing the ghostly figure, the rain splashing around them and the night light filtering through the clouds onto the ground, blurring it.
As they chased it, the ghost appeared and disappeared, and at other times almost vanished. Adam and Rita gave it their all, but they could never catch up with it.
The ghost walked through a narrow alley, and Adam and Rita followed closely behind. At the end of the alley, they saw the ghost stopped, and the dark alley became their battlefield.
Adam and Rita readjusted their stances, weapons gripped tightly, ready to face the Phantom's attack. The Phantom's form seemed to melt into the darkness, emitting a chilling aura. Their gazes met, and Adam could sense the endless hatred and pain hidden in the Phantom's deep gaze.
The ghost suddenly lunged at Adam, his body flashing so fast that it was almost impossible to catch his movements. Adam reacted quickly, swinging his sword to meet the attack. The sword and the ghost's figure intersected with a sharp metallic collision.
Rita immediately seized the opportunity and launched an attack on the ghost, swinging her scythe at it, sword and scythe interweaving in a beautiful yet ferocious dance.
The battle was extremely fierce, with attacks from both sides intertwined and exploding with dazzling sparks. Adam and Rita sometimes attacked together, and sometimes fought separately to limit the ghost's movements as much as possible.
However, the ghost's power seemed endless, and his attacks became more and more violent and threatening. Adam and Rita's bodies gradually began to feel exhausted, but they did not give up.
Finally, the ghost roared, and his body suddenly flashed, turning into a black light and disappearing into the darkness. Adam and Rita's attacks could only hit the air. They were stunned, not knowing what had happened.
The surrounding alleys fell silent, with only Adam and Rita's rapid breathing filling the air.
Adam and Rita exchanged a glance, each filled with confusion. Was this ghost's sudden disappearance an attempt to escape, or was there some other reason? It felt like this city held even more secrets.
Chapter 605: Another Bronya
When Adam and Rita returned to the lab, they were both drenched in rain. Her wet hair clung to Rita's face, making her even more beautiful. Adam couldn't help but be drawn to the feeling of rain-soaked clothes against his skin, almost feeling the water dripping down his body.
They left many traces of rain along the way, and the traces of water on the ground were like a road leading to the unknown.
The process of chasing the Honkai Beast was obviously not that easy. The two were about to catch up with the Honkai Beast, but just when they were about to catch up with it, the other party disappeared, like a phantom disappearing in the rain.
The two returned empty-handed, feeling rather unwilling to give up, but there was no other way to continue the pursuit. So they had no choice but to return to the lab to rest for a while before making any plans.
Rita returned to the room first, her hair wet, a hint of frustration in her eyes.
Adam noticed at this moment that the laboratory was empty and unusually quiet.
"Strange, where have all the people gone?" Adam couldn't help but frown, and all kinds of questions flashed through his mind.
Just as Adam was wondering, suddenly, the scary rabbit jumped out from behind Adam, startling Adam. He couldn't help but take a step back and shouted at Adam, "Captain, you are really too slow to come back now."
"What happened? Where are everyone?" Adam asked Haitu doubtfully.
"Don't mention it, we're in trouble here." Hare Rabbit sighed and said to Adam, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and anxiety.
"What's the problem?" Adam was a little curious at this time. What could have caused Hare Rabbit such a headache?
"Well, the other guy who inherited Walter's legacy has arrived." Haitu explained to Adam at this time, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Adam was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected his competitor to arrive so soon. A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but wonder who this person was and what kind of person could cause Hare Rabbit to worry.
"Really? What kind of person is he?" Adam continued to ask, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation.
"You'll know when you go and take a look." Haitu said mysteriously, his expression becoming solemn.
At that moment, the laboratory door opened, and a gray-haired girl dressed in black walked in, followed by Jackal and Raven. Her posture was tall and graceful, and her demeanor exuded a sense of nobility.
The gray-haired girl approached Adam like a noble lady, but when he saw her, he was stunned. Her face was exactly like the Rabbit's. He stared at her blankly, never expecting her so-called competitor to be Bronya!
"I told you, it's really troublesome." Haitu said reluctantly at this time, his voice revealing a hint of helplessness and despair.
Adam really didn't expect that the so-called other heir would be Bronya.
But come to think of it, Bronya and Walter have always had a very good relationship, so it is reasonable to let her be the heir.
No wonder Hare Rabbit feels so troubled.
However, a sense of unease welled up in Adam's heart at this moment. He looked at Bronya's eyes and felt a kind of ruthless and heartless indifference. Her eyes penetrated Adam's soul, as if trying to explore the depths of his heart.
Adam couldn't help but shudder. He felt that the Bronya before him was different from all the Bronyas he had known. She was like a lifeless doll.
Bronya's figure lingered in the laboratory like mist, giving people an unreal feeling. Her skin was as pale as snow, and she looked like a cold statue.
"Hello, Mr. Adam." Bronya came over and greeted Adam, as if her previous indifference was an illusion.
"Hello, what's going on?" Adam looked at Bronya strangely. He couldn't understand what the girl in front of him wanted to do.
"Nothing, just saying hello. I heard that you are a very famous detective." Bronya praised Adam, but Adam felt that there was no tone of praise in her words.
Adam remained silent, beginning to doubt his perception. Bronya's behavior and expression confused him. What had Bronya been through?
"That's just an empty title. After all, I'm just a detective hired by Mr. Walter." Adam said at this time.
Bronya smiled mysteriously when she heard Adam's answer: "If that's the case, that would be great." Her voice was a little low, as if with a hint of helplessness.
Adam was increasingly confused. What had happened to this young woman? Her expression and tone had become so cold, as if she were hiding some unspeakable pain.
"In that case, please continue with your work, Mr. Adam. I won't bother you any more." Bronya said, then turned and left. Her departure was like a gust of wind, leaving Adam and Hare Rabbit staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Now you understand why I have a headache." The Hare Rabbit sighed and said to Adam.
"I didn't expect that you in this world would be related to the World Serpent. It's really beyond my imagination." Adam said, touching his chin.
"That's not the point, okay? Don't you feel that there's an indescribable chill about me in this world?"
"Ah, that's true." Adam recalled the feeling that Bronya had emitted before, which was just like a ghost.
"I feel like things are getting weirder and weirder this time."
Adam couldn't help but shook his head.
At this moment, Hua also walked in from outside. The three of them looked at each other, and it seemed that they all had a lot to say to each other.
"It seems we've gathered quite a bit of information by acting separately." Adam nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, let's go into the room and summarize the current information." Haitu suggested to the two of them.
"Okay. Let's go then." Adam said to Hua and Haitu.
Then, Adam looked towards Rita's room again.
Although Rita now says that the other party is still on his side, he always feels that the other party has concealed too many things.
Now, a strange Bronya has appeared. Can this world tour really continue safely?
Chapter 606: Investigation Summary
After returning to the room, Hua, Adam and Haitu sat together and began to discuss the results of their investigation today.
There was a tense and mysterious atmosphere in the room.
